Eight was more than enough for PN-G’s Reyenga

The high fives were coming out of every corner for PN-G outfielder Blake Reyenga.
People were stoked that the Indians bounced back from a Game 1 loss to win Game 2 17-0 on Friday at Baytown Sterling.
Anyone wearing PN-G Purple had reason to celebrate but it was Reyenga that was getting hugs from his teammates and PN-G football coach Brandon Faircloth.
That’s because when you have eight RBIs like Reyenga, everyone wants some love.
Reyenga wants two things.
The first? A win in Game 3. The second?
“Sleep,” Reyenga said. “We got out of graduation last night at 10 p.m. and didn’t get to Project Graduation until around 11 p.m. It was around 3:45 a.m. when I got home and all I did was sleep until I got to the team bus.”
And even when he got on the bus, he slept the entire 70-mile drive to Baytown Sterling.
His eight RBIs woke up the PN-G offense and silenced Friendswood.
Six of Reyenga’s RBIs came off two bases-clearing triples. One came in the second inning following a 30-minute rain delay and the other came in the third inning.
He drove in two more runs in fourth inning.
PN-G baseball coach Jay Stone said that Reyenga’s performance was one of the most impressive he’s seen.
Especially when you consider the lack of sleep.
“We weren’t worried about Project Graduation,” Stone said. “It was a judgment call on those guys and we knew they were going to make the right decision.”
Reyenga made two right decisions when he slapped pitches to right center and right field to score the two triples.
He hopes that he makes a couple more as PN-G looks to get to the regional final round, a place it hadn’t been since 2007.
